The Auristor version of AFS (which is supported by the in-kernel afs
filesystem) has a file handle (FID) that consists of a 64-bit volume ID (which
is arguably a superblock-level thing), a 96-bit vnode ID (equivalent to the
inode number) and a 32-bit uniquifier. I don't think the capacity of these
values is fully utilised by the server... yet, but I can't support them
correctly with the UAPI that we have.
Allowing some expansion of stx_ino and/or replacing that with an stx_fid would
be helpful in that regard. That said, getting userspace to be able to handle
this is I think going to be a large undertaking with lots of auditing
required.
